The complete list of tags won't give you much information. Better determine the most used tags via taginfo as already explained by Jonathan and Frederik or take a look at the map features page in the wiki. answered 11 Jul '12, 15:35  scai ♦ |
There's an online tool that analyses tag usage in OpenStreetMap called TagInfo. As well as using the information it provides, either in your browser or via its API, you can download its internal databases containing the same information. answered 11 Jul '12, 13:30 Jonathan Ben... edited 11 Jul '12, 13:31 |
You probably do not want do extract the complete list of tags being used in OSM. If you really wanted to then you could do this: This will yield a list of about 35,000 tag keys currently in use. A better presented tag listing is available on http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org, and there you can also download sqlite files that contain lists of tags. answered 11 Jul '12, 13:31  Frederik Ramm ♦ |
You can download a list from http://wykenseagrave.co.uk/?p=703 which I created by copying and editing the wiki tag pages. This will get out of date as new tags are added, but I doubt if they'll change very often. answered 11 Jun '13, 05:01  Wyken Seagrave edited 11 Jun '13, 05:04 4 Note that this is a list of tag documentation pages, not a list of tags that are actually in use. The two aren't always the same thing. (11 Jun '13, 09:30) Jonathan Ben... |
Is there a way that I can extract just the most commonly used tags?
Define what the "most commonly used tags" are in your opinion and throw away everything else? :). The map features page already provides an overview of the most commonly used tags. Use it in combination with taginfo and you should get a meaningful list.
